compare: export official way to modify InodeDelta.Diff

At the moment, filtering out keyword changes from an InodeDelta after
doing Compare is a little complicated and error-prone. The simplest
solution is to allow for callers to access a pointer to the underlying
slice so it can be modified properly.

The filtering logic in the gomtree command-line implicitly depends on
the behaviour of InodeDelta.Diff -- DiffPtr would be a far more
appropriate replacement.
